Grapevine was the YSTV advertising and sustainer service broadcast on the network during the day from 1987 until it was re-branded Inform, initially as an internal naming convention in 2004/04 and then accompanied by (another) re-write of the back end in 2005.
The service started with the arrival of the Genlock on a BBC Model B computer which enabled its output to be synchronised with YSTV's vision mixer. This was the early days of microcomputers and the BBC was a crash-prone machine, as demonstrated by Malcolm Heath in [1].
